HARYEST OF APPLES
BEGINS I KOCl'E YALLKi.
(From Sunday's Dally.)
The harvest of the "big red ap
ples" will commence in the Grants
Pass district next Monday, all the
larger orchardiats to commence
picking at that time, and before the
week ig done the gathering of the
crop will be on in earnest. The first
of the fruit to be picked will
be the Jonathans, followed
immediately by the Spitzenbergs and
the Newtowns, though the big Els
man orchard will commence on New
towns along with the Jonathans.
The apple crop will be of the best
possible quality this season, and It
has colored up in true Rogue river
manner. The red apples are the
bright, glossy red painted only by
the glorious sun of southern Oregon,
while the Newtowns take on the yel
low of the gold of the hills. Ship
ping of the apples will probably not
commence till later, as contracts
have not yet been made for the sale
of the crop. The present offers are
good, but with the shortage in many
parts of the world, and the assur
ance that the market will continue
to strengthen, the growers have been
slow to sell.
With the car of pears loaded out
Saturday, the crop of that fruit is
about cleaned up In this district, and
tuere will be no further shipment till
the Winter Nells Is ready, when an
other car or two will go out. The
car shipped Saturday was loaded
with Cornice, De Anjou and Clalr
geau, and was billed to Chicago.
Final returns on all the Bartletts
shipped have been received by the
Growers' association, and the net
price to the growers after all charges
have been met has been $1.09 1-2
per box, this amount being returned
to the grower after all expenses of
box, wrapping, packing, shipping,
tc., had been met. The season has
been a profitable one to all pear grow
ers, and a glance at the association
books shows some interesting de
tails. As a sample, but no different
than the average grower, is the case
of Will Scovllle, whose 53 bearing
trees netted him $471.95, checks of
that amount having been turned over
to Mr. ScovUle by the association af
ter all charges bad been met.
JOSEPHINE CAVES
CliOSED FOR SEASON
Superintendent Macduff, of the
Siskiyou national forest, has Just re
turned from a trip to the Josephine
caves, where he inspected the work
done In that district during the
summer. The Beason at the caves
really closed on the 15th inst, and
K. W, Rowley, the guide who has
been stationed there during the
summer has left, though he would
still be available for the guidance of
parties by making special arrange
ment s. Mr. Rowley has done a great
amount of good work within the
caves this season in making some of
the caverns more accessible, the
openings and passages having in sev
eral caseB been enlarged. Author
ity from the government Is now lin
ing sought by Mr. Rowley to have
the more tortuous passages blasted
out so that the hardships of sight
seeing in the caves will be lessened.
While the government guide has
left the caves, visitors can still we j
much of the underground wonders,
as arrows are painted on the walls
pointing the directors in and out.
